Greetings and best wishes from my new home in Mar Vista. This is a mid-year
letter to family, friends, associates and acquaintances with details as to my
new address. I apologize if you are already up to date on my news and
developments in the fight against the world's most evil organization.

It is now 12 months since I parted ways with Lumin - oZ, which still owes me
$28,000.00, and which seems to be still struggling to stem it's flood of red
ink and investor money at an incredibly high "burn-rate." Since then, thanks
to the church of scientology litigation juggernaut, I have lost and moved
from my condominium in Santa Monica to a suite of rooms in my close friend
Jane's new home in Mar Vista. Mar Vista borders Santa Monica to the north,
Venice Beach to the west, and Culver City to the east and south. I am 10
minutes drive from my old address and now a 3 mile and 15 minute flat ride to
the beach and the 26-mile bike path that runs the length of Santa Monica Bay
and its beaches. Jane moved down from Marin County in County outside of San
Francisco in Northern California in late February of this year.

In early February, I returned from a wonderful and memorable six week visit
to my family in New Zealand was greeted by the Church of Scientology's
seizure of my jeep in connection with the judgment fraudulently obtained
against me by Scientology's "Rev." Barton (a one week, sometimes only several
hour, course is all it takes to be a "minister" in the "Church" of
Scientology). As the St. Petersburg Times (Tampa, Florida) editorial wrote
yesterday morning: "Scientology is not like any religion we know."

The SP Times was commenting on last week's acquittal of former number two
ranking church leader Jesse Prince. The church had hired private
investigators to follow Prince everywhere. He was set up and charged with
growing a solitary "pot" plant at the rear of his property. The scientology
involvement and instigation of police and DA activity bothered the jury. And
after the current chief of scientology's intelligence and covert operations
office stated that church was out to get Prince because he is a "critic" of
the church, the judge refused to grant the DA a retrial and dismissed the
charges.

Meanwhile, last weekend in Toronto, Canada, a police swat team armed
with Uzi submachine guns swept on Keith Henson and detained him for the
weekend. Scientology had [mis] informed the police that Henson had entered
Canada illegally and was armed and dangerous. Last month, in Hemet,
California, Henson was convicted of a misdemeanor (max. penalty less than one
year in prison. The misdemeanor was interfering with the practice of a
religion (by picketing their heavily armed base in the desert). At the
instigation of the church, and with clear misconduct between $500 per hour
church retained attorneys and a senior employee of the County DA's office,
Henson had been charged with misdemeanor terrorism.

The judge agreed with the
prosecutor, and the high priced scientology national legal team behind him,
and prevented any evidence of "Fair Game" or any other evidence of
scientology administrative (not scriptural) policy regarding the harassment
and destruction of Church of Scientology critics. Effectively, this prevented
Henson's lawyer from putting on a proper defense. The church claimed its
750-staffer strong facility had to all go into hiding every time he was
outside with a picket sign.

They claimed he might lob an ICBM or cruise
missile over the fence! He was acquitted on that and a related charge. As
well he should have been. They all hide whenever other critics and I myself
picket there too. The real reason is because their brainwashed minds must not
see the anti-scientology messages on our picket signs!

One of scientology's lawyers, ex Mafia and mobster attorney Elliot
Abelson, Esq., was urging the maximum sentence for Henson because the
62-year-old grandfather- computer geek and a life long human rights activist
is the most intimidating and dangerous man Abelson had ever met! (Right!) For
advocating human rights and freedom of thought for a cult that denies both to
its members and staffers! The church was also spreading unfounded rumors,
through the appropriate prisons, that Henson is coming and that he is a child
molester. Child molesters suffer terribly, and sometimes die, at the hands of
fellow prisoners!

Henson lawfully went to Canada to picket the scientology
facility in Toronto. While there, he was advised to seek asylum because of
the breaches of, and threats to, his human rights here. That requires the
Canadian External Affairs Department to request the US State Department to
fully investigate the Henson prosecution and travesty in Riverside County,
California. Late last year, another scientology critic was acquitted of
assaulting a scientology "handler" [of scientology critics] in Illinois.
Scientology lawyer Elliot Abelson had also visibly participated in the
instigation and prosecution of this set up and abuse of process.

I have my own scientology-instigated trials coming up. In July, the same
scientology minister, Barton, has a bankruptcy fraud allegation against me.
The court has already denied their claim once. Scientology lawyers have also
instigated State Bar proceedings against me. For years a number of people,
including lawyers, have been convinced that the church had infiltrated the
State Bar Disciplinary process and this seems to confirm it. Particularly,
because the State Bar has already stated that the church of scientology
attorneys has done no wrong, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary.

Dozens of people, knowledgeable about the cult and its antics, have written
the State Bar urging an independent public investigation of what has
happened. One of the local law enforcement agencies has opened its own
investigation into these attorneys and awaits assistance from me. Similarly,
I have an opportunity to brief certain senior officials in Washington, DC. on
the seven year Church of Scientology operation against me. Now that I have
completed moving, unpacking and combining three households, I can get on with
preparing to defend myself and to assist law enforcement in investigating the
cult's activities against me.

In addition to those two immediate agenda items, I have a plateful of
other projects to consume me for the rest of the year. In February, the
church sponsored and litigated Hurtado v. Berry lawsuit was voluntarily
dismissed in State Court where Hurtado was suing me for $10M on a clearly
perjured and baseless allegation of sexual assault and legal malpractice. A
federal judge has recently ordered the church's attorneys to file a motion to
dismiss the same lawsuit there. Hurtado is now in jail. I must now find
appropriate attorneys to file a malicious prosecution case on my behalf. In
addition, I am about to prepare my own State Bar proceedings against those
scientology attorneys who have been harassing me and against whom we now have
corroborated evidence of criminal activity being used in the process (or,
more correctly, the abuse of process).

A scientologist by the name of Slatkin has recently been arrested in
connection with a $650 million stock market investment "ponzi" scheme. It is
likely to engender a lot of bad publicity for the church, which has an
extensive history of involvement in financial fraud. A trial of a group of
scientologists is proceeding in Spain. The government is seeking a sixty-year
prison term against the President of the Church of Scientology International,
for fraud! Similarly, the Tom Cruise- Nicole Kidman divorce is causing more
problems for scientology.

I believe that the church ordered the divorce,
which has all of the hallmarks of a "scientology handling." In refusing to
"convert" to scientology, Nicole had become an enemy ("potential trouble
source" or "PTS"). She is close to her parents and refused to "disconnect "
from them even though they are both mental health professionals. The Church
of Scientology has an operation to destroy the mental health profession and a
related "front" group named "The Citizen's Commission for Human Rights"
("CCHR").

They regularly set out on "psych-busting" projects. Often they set
up "pyschs" on patient malpractice, sexual abuse and other contrived
misdeeds. With Travolta's star dimmed, Tom ("TC") was needed back in the
church's PR limelight - but not with PTS Nicole. However, that has backfired.

Recently, the United States, for the first time ever, was voted off the
Human Rights Commission of the United Nations. The obvious reason has not
been published here. The European governments have been quietly angry at the
United States for threatening trade sanctions against Sweden and Germany for
not recognizing and protecting the Church of Scientology's religious
scriptures as trade secrets and not recognizing scientology as a legitimate
church qualifying for tax exempt status, particularly with the
well-documented and extensive record of human rights abuses by the church
against its own members and critics. They are mystified at the State
Department and Department of Commerce becoming punishment and expansion tools
of the Church of Scientology.

To learn more of the Church of Scientology's atrocities against members,
staffers and critics, go to the Internet and search:

For the first time in three years, I have all of my scientology research
and materials files readily available. Now the scanning project, and the web
site presence, and the book writing, can also proceed. Indeed, there is so
much to do, with so little money, and in so little time, that it is going to
be a very busy, exciting and hopefully successful summer. Indeed, I am typing
this out on the grass under a shady tree. Moving from my condo of 12 years,
to a renovated two-story house with front and rear yard, has many benefits
and changes. Now I have yard work to do, gardens to tend and water, outdoor
chores and a house to tend. I am now 25 months sober and still doing just
fine without the expense of liquor and hangovers!

My new contact information is at the head of this letter. In the
meantime, please have my best wishes and may God bless you.

Sincerely and warmly,

Graham Berry
